Hi all,
Proposal:
Put DiffArray in its own diffarray package
http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/3370
DiffArray currently has serious performance problems; see
http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/2727
and is not currently being actively maintained. However, as part of the
corelib array it gives the impression that it is a "blessed" library.
I propose that we split DiffArray off into its own diffarray package.
This also has the advantage that it can then be maintained by a separate
maintainer, if someone is interested, and it will be decoupled from
GHC's major release schedule.
Deadline: 26 July (2 weeks).
Thanks
Ian
